Wouldn't want to go much past beach access 1. Gets real soft toward the larger condo's. There were a few places that really slowed my truck and the further you go the less packed the road gets. Looks like fun and I still want to ride ole blue down for a weekend. We usually don’t get on the beach, b...

I hope you take the bike to the carwash soon. Lots of nooks and crannies to hide salty sand. That said, the last time I rode on the beach was at South Padre. Had to get towed out. My gl1100 buried up to the engine. Yes sir, it will get a bath Thursday. My job seems to think we need training a week ...

Normally we don’t get off of pavement, but we went to Port Aransas today and drove down On The Beach Dr which is sand. It’s packed very well stays smooth. No wind so not much wave action and the tide was very low. Temp 65°. Great day for a ride. Dave E348E039-088E-49AB-ACAD-EDC942D9D697.jpeg D661747...

I added a WOLO Bad Boy on mine and followed their instructions. The same as WingAdmin, I spliced into the OEM wiring on the left horn so my factory horns still work. I ran the fused power to the relay and ground from the horn direct off the battery. Dave FFF7294F-E6C1-47E7-848A-1D0D8C1E5478.png A134...

Looking at the schematic, nothing should have power in “LOCK and OFF” positions.

Great pics Mario. Thanks for sending them.
We had a couple stick around until the end of October, but it cooled off and they went south.

Happy Thanksgiving to you Bill and all who celebrate.
Dave

Thanks wingdings.
I checked all my vacuum lines when I rebuilt the carbs. The screws on the petcock were just snug, allowing fuel to leak out the bottom. I had planned to rebuild it anyway because the bike sat unused for some time before we got it.
Dave

I hope that solves the problem.
With all the “how to’s” and helpful folks on this site we can fix just about anything on our bikes.

My key blank is HD75. The slot is on the other side of the key when looking at it like your picture.Goldwing key.JPG

It’s my understanding they are HD74 or HD75 depending on left hand or right hand. It seems year model doesn’t matter.

The same thing happened to me yesterday on the trunk lock. The key would go in, but would not turn. I shot silicone spray in the lock using the small red tube on the can. Ran the key in and out several times and it works great now. I also gave all the locks a shot of silicone spray afterwards and th...

dingdong, I know I’m full of hot air, but I don’t think I have enough to reach OKC...it is supposed to warm up tomorrow. Got the tire on and everything back together. Took a cold test ride to fill it up and everything seems good to go. While taking it apart, I noticed a crack in one of the saddle ba...

If my bike has problems and dies, I coast to the side of the road. If this thing has problems and dies...guess it depends on how high you are when it happens.

My photos are not rotating in the forum. WingAdmin is working on it. I have a pitbull m/c jack that will pick the bike up 2’. I cut a hole in a 2x6 to fit a small floor jack head and used it to roll the wheel out from under the bike. Makes it easy for one person to remove the wheel. I do need you to...

Got the new tire mounted with Dynabeads installed. Got it on the bike, but threw my back out so it’s a slow go to finish. It’s 40°F with a 20 mph north wind today so I’m in no hurry to finish. We’ve decided not to install the Jacuzzi tub. It is wider than the existing tub, so the drain will be about...

The petcock is in front of the gas cap.

Cyclemax has a set for $80.

We will get up to 65°F today, but have another front coming tomorrow which will bring the temps down in the 40’s for Tuesday. We will be back to the 60’s by the weekend and 70’s next week.
I’ll be mowing the yard and harvesting oranges this afternoon.

This is a panel that's ideal to mount two 2" gauges for voltmeter, or coolant temp, or oil pressure, or ambient temp etc. There should be a limited number of them available by Xmas. Just a thought, , , , ,:) 2016 auction.jpg I have search the internet for these with no success. Where can they be pu...

I have my 1999 torn down waiting on a rear tire. Here are some pics.
Dave

She’s wanting to ride as much as I do and is “patiently waiting for Monday. The weather finally cooled off here to 50/60 degrees so riding is nice.

While removing the rear wheel on my 1500 to grease the driveshaft and splines, I noticed a roofing nail in my rear tire. I was planning to go to the darkside with an Austone when this G3 tire was ready for replacement, but it still had some miles left so I haven’t ordered one. I am on vacation and w...

During the hurricane, we lost a large and small storage building so we had a driveway put in and had this building built and brought in (14’x26’). It’s 14” from the ground so I built a ramp using treated 2x8’s. It has enough room to work on the bike in the dry. Dave 6058EE7A-79CE-4B2B-B6CF-7141774B9...

Thanks to wingdings tutorial got the petcock rebuilt with ease. It was working fine, but leaking out the bottom and had grunge buildup. The bottom screws were only snug.
The diaphragms were semi dried out.
Dave

Seafoam, magic in a can!
Glad you got it working. I remember using “Marvel Mystery Oil” years ago to quiet down the lifter noises in high mileage, gunked up car engines.
